Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Scott was condescending and rushed. I felt zero assurance that he had looked at my chart or xrays - he hardly seemed to know or care what he was seeing me for. He gave me information that entirely contradicted that of the previous doctor I had seen at the same clinic for the same injury. He also provided me with zero information about what to expect during my recovery.

I first saw Dr. Scott last year for thumb joint pain. I was told by several people that he's the best surgeon in New England to address the issue I am having. Everyone described him as kind with an amazing bedside manner. The office visit was a pleasant experience, staff was friendly, and appointment was on time. Dr. Scott was VERY kind, patient, and listened to me describe the symptoms. He asked me questions about prior procedures to alleviate the pain and then gave me a steroid shot. The shot alleviated the pain for a short time and I went back to see him 2 weeks ago. It was determined that surgery would be the next step. He explained the procedure very well to me using descriptions that I understood. I met with him before and after surgery this week and feel so lucky to have him as my orthopedist. He has a great bedside manner and a warm personality which eased any anxiety I may have had. If you are experiencing pain, especially in the CMC joint my suggestion is to call his office!

I have been seeing Dr Scott over a period of about 15 years. He has done injections and surgery for me. Always successful. He never rushes and explains everything carefully. Wonderful friendly staff.

I have been a patient of Dr. Scotts for over 25 years. He has done several hand surgeries thru the years. He has replaced several knuckles, fused some finger tips, and 3 surgeries on the base of my thumbs. He has excellent patient bed side manners and very personable. Does not rush you thru the visit.

The care of the patient is a partnership between the physician and patient. The partnership is designed to discover two things- the accurate diagnosis and what needs to be accomplished to treat this diagnosis. A treatment plan is then created that best fits the individual.??
